Living as a Muslim in a Post-9/11 World

When Cleveland native Aisha Samad went to jail she expected to have to fight for her innocence, but she didn't expect to have to fight for her faith. A practicing Muslim, Aisha had worn the customary head covering since she was 17, and when Cuyahoga County officials told her she had to remove it to appear in court, she was shocked. But what shocked her more was the outpouring of support she received, not just from Muslims, but from the Jewish community. Friday morning, we'll talk to Aisha and other local Muslims about how the challenges of a post 9-11 world have both tested and renewed their faith. That's at nine on 90.3.
